White Sky – Vampire Weekend
From their upcoming album, Contra (out January 2010)
lyrics:
AN ACIENT BUSINESS
A MODERN PIECE OF GLASSWORK
DOWN ON THE CORNER THAT YOU WALK EACH DAY IN PASSING
THE ELDERLY SALES CLERK WON’T EYE US WITH SUSPICION
THE WHOLE, IMMORTAL CORPORATION’S GIVEN ITS PERMISSION
A LITTLE STAIRWAY
A LITTLE PIECE OF CARPET
A PAIR OF MIRRORS THAT ARE FACING ONE ANOTHER
OUT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, A THOUSAND LITTLE JULIA’S
THAT COME TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN
YOU WAITED SINCE LUNCH
IT ALL COMES AT ONCE
(chorus)
AROUND THE CORNER, THE HOUSE THAT MODERN ART BUILT
A HOUSE FOR MODERN ART TO KEEP IT OUT THE CLOSETS
OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT OWN IT
THE SINS OF PRIDE AND ENVY
AND ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THE RICHARD SERRA SKATEPARK
YOU WAITED SINCE LUNCH
IT ALL COMES AT ONCE
(chorus)
SIT ON THE PARK WALL
ASK ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
“WHY ARE THE HORSES RACING TAXIS IN THE WINTER?”
LOOK UP AT THE BUILDINGS
IMAGINE WHO MIGHT LIVE THERE
IMAGINING YOUR WOLFORDS IN A BALL UPON THE SINK THERE
YOU WAITED SINCE LUNCH
IT ALL COMES AT ONCE

This video is made for any person who wants to learn oil painting. This video will give you a solid base of knowledge. http://merrillk.com
Today, I am going to show you how to paint a puppy dog. I made this video for beginner to intermediate level artists, who wish to learn about traditional painting…I will try to show you how to paint. step by step. While I can imagine that painting a realistic looking puppy is intimidating for someone new to art, I will try to make my instruction as clear as possible, so that you can get in to great habits for the future. Once you are in good habits, you will progress very quickly.
I split this lesson in to four parts.
1.) Part one will cover what you need to know before you paint.
2.) Part two will give you an effective strategy for painting realistically The mentality of rendering (aka drawing what you see)
3.) Part three will walk you through the process of painting and I will give you tips while I paint. The process of “sculpting” a painting
4.) Part four will actually be a separate video and it will discuss glazing…a great finishing strategy. Glazing: Finishing a painting (Covered in another video)
Part 1.) I have two points to go over in Part 1-
1-1- First, pick a surface to work on. When I was learning painting, I would use cardboard in place of canvas to save money. Ten years later my original oil paintings are still in good shape. However, this would not be the case if I didn’t prime the cardboard with layers of Gesso. Without getting over technical, gesso gives your surface a protective layer that will prevent the oil from being over absorbed. Try to remember this silly saying, “Paint with cream, not with butter or milk!” No, im not saying that you should break out the dairy prodicts…..I am referring to the consistency of the paint. Cream is not a solid like butter …..and is not watery like milk. When you apply paint to a surface it should be creamy in texture. You can make the paint creamy by adding about three to four drops of painting medium to the paint that is sitting on your palette. The object in my hand right now is called a palette knife. I used it to mix the paint with the painting medium. For a long time, I considered this step trivial, but it makes a difference!
1-2 Oil Painters use mineral spirits to clean off their brushes and to thin out a paint mixture. Mineral Spirits is also known commercially as paint thinner and sold as an art supply called turpenoid for quadruple the price. You will only need a SMALL amount of Mineral Spirits because its very powerful. Use it sparingly when you wish to thin out your paint; because too much will make the paint runny and “milk-like” in consistency. Here is a great tip to remember when cleaning your brushes…..WIPE-DIP-WIPE. As silly as that sounds, commit it to memory….In other words….. wipe your brush with a paper towel…..Then dip it in to the mineral spirits and swish it around….followed by another wipe with the paper towel to take the extra spirits off your brush. The last wipe is especially important to prevent the excess mineral spirits from thinning out your paint too much
Part 2
Now you will learn a great strategy to help you paint what you see. I call this strategy, “jigsaw puzzle observation” because it is similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. Jigsaw puzzles are fun because you fit shapes together to create an image………I want you to think the same way when you paint. Try to see and identify shapes and then put them together like a puzzle. Painters sculpt and manipulate the paint on the surface of a painting until the shapes fit together as a recognizable image. Here….let me show you what I mean…..When you try this, I recommend that you get in the habit of looking at your reference image at least once for every five seconds; and then paint what you observed. After you get the bigger shapes in…..work your way down to the smaller shapes…….. If you feel that you cant work the paint any more. Let it dry and repeat this step on top of the dried paint. You have an advantage by using paint because it is opaque and it can cover over any mistake…… Take your time with this step. Skyscrapers cant be erected without solid supports and good paintings cannot be made without careful placement.

Michael Jackson Exhibition Dedicates New Beverly Hills Gallery
Rare photographs of Michael Jackson with sister, Janet and brothers – Jackie, Marlon, Tito and Randy, will be exhibited and available to the public for the first time ever at David W. Streets Beverly Hills Fine Art. These rare photos, taken during August of 1978, give a glimpse into the life of Michael and his siblings at a time in their lives when they were all experiencing a new beginning in LA. The occasion was an exclusive photo session in Los Angeles by noted Celebrity Photographer, Gregg Cobarr, prior to the release of their first album, “Destiny”, for their new record label, Epic Records. These historical images were created at two locations around Los Angeles – the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a private lake in Westlake Village.
Cobarr’s photos portray the innocence, the excitement, the tenderness and heart of Michael Jackson in a way only he can describe. “I wanted to make sure that Michael felt free to be himself”, states Cobarr, “so that I could truly capture the essence of Michael. I wanted people to get a sense of Michael for who he really was and now more than ever, this is truly the important aspect of the photographs and of the exhibit.” The public has never even seen most of the photos and they have never, ever been offered for sale to the public.
Gregg Cobarr has over thirty years of professional experience with such music industry clients as Columbia and Epic Records, Capitol, RCA, Curb and Warner Bros. In the T.V and film industry, he has worked with 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures. He holds a Bachelors Degree from Brooks Institute of Photography and a Masters of Fine Arts Degree from California Institute of the Arts. Gregg’s work has been published both nationally and internationally and recently, he has presented Master Classes in Europe as well as several exhibitions.
David W. Streets, owner of David W. Streets Beverly Hills Gallery has beena Celebrity Fine Art Dealer with an international reputation for over 25 years. Streets’ collectors include a diverse group ranging from American Presidents to major corporations to first time and serious collectors to foreign dignitaries and famous celebrities.
All images exhibited in the gallery are signed by Cobarr and include a Letter of Authenticity. Gallery owner, David Streets has decided to donate a portion of a special, very reasonably priced “Tribute Photo” to one of Michael’s charities. The Michael Jackson exhibit will open on Wednesday, July 8th. David W. Streets Beverly Hills Fine Art is open from 11 to 6 daily, Sunday by appointment, and located at 9411 S. Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, 90210. The gallery can be contacted at 310-275-3464 or by emailing David W. Streets to:

Modernism, in the context of landscape design, is a result of forms and functions that reflect the need for outdoor living spaces that enhance contemporary lifestyles. As Garrett Eckbo, one of the central figures in modern landscape architecture, said, landscape design is the “arrangement of environments for people.”

Potpourri (Bu-nga)
Potpourri is a perfumery made of scented fresh or dry flowers, mixed with eau de per fume or the Nam-ob Thai, and put into small fine bags. Traditionally, the Thais in the central part would make a potpourri as an accessory for some ceremonies, or as a souvenir in blessing occasions such as house warming and wedding. No potpourri is made for religious ceremonies such as monk-hood celebration or funerals.

C. M. Coolidge, known for his “poker playing dogs”, was a brilliant man with innovative ideas and an entrepreneurial instinct about art. Born in a small town in upstate New York to Quaker parents, he didn’t receive a formal college education, but did take some college business classes later in his life. By the time he was 18 or 19, he took a few lessons in portrait painting, along with a course in bookkeeping a few years later. His love for reading resulted in a solid self education. At the age of 19, he started doing cartoons for newspapers in surrounding neighborhoods. A few years later, while living in Rochester, NY, he wrote and illustrated a weekly newspaper column.
